"Mid back" is typically hyphenated when used as an adjective to describe the area between the upper and lower back.
The rules on hyphenation are currently changing: the usage board of the Oxford English Dictionary decided in the late 1980's that in future their standard would be to avoid hyphens when possible. Hyphens are seldom compulsory in a word, you should use them as seems best to you.

Generally, hyphenate the "mid" (within, in the middle of) prefix if it modifies an original word as opposed to a distinct term, and for items that do not have separate "ends" or "middles". e.g. midday, midair, midway, but mid-sentence, mid-ocean, mid-Atlantic, mid-stride. Also, if the resultant word appears indistinct, such as "midriver" (readers see the word 'driver'), hyphenation may clarify the intent.

Prior to the mid-1990s the word fundraising was often written hyphenated as fund-rasing or occasionally as two words--fund raising. About 1996 or 1997 the professional fundraising community began writing the word as one word: fundraising. I don't know if there is an official group or body who makes a word change official but the professional community now uses the word as one word--fundraising. Many spell checking software still identify the word as hyphentated.

Some English sources recognize three types of compound words: open, closed and hyphenated. Open compound words are words comprised of two or more words that are separated by a space. For example, "post office" and "attorney general". Closed compound words, are words comprised of two or more words with no spaces. For example, "paperclip" and "moonlight". Hyphenated compound words are comprised of two or more words separated by hyphens. For example, "middle-earth" and "blue-eyed". Often, the decision on how to express a compound word is a matter of style and convention. For example, should the word be written as "mid year", "midyear", or "mid-year"? Some English language references do not recognize the concept of open compound words and treat these as multi-word terms or phrases. Like many questions related to language, there is no definitive answer because there is no universally recognized entity responsible for providing the definitive answer.
